That selected as the 100 best waters as Kikuchi water source. There is very cool place. I went there last year with my friend. We went by car. I dove all the way. Kikuchi valley places on mountain. So the load is very winding. When I dove that time, I was a drive beginner. I was very scared, but I didn’t pass each other with a car so much at that time.

pizza

              I tell you about my part-time job. I work a chain store of pizza. I started to work there in May. My most memorable day was happened in June. I was not working only a few times still. I bring to my wallet whenever I go to the pizza shop. I didn’t felt busy on that day. I went to the convenience store at the rest. When I was paid in order to buy juice, I noticed a 10000 yen bill lost. It was stolen. There were many employees on that day. I didn’t know who was stolen, so I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t get along with other employees still because I couldn’t tell anyone. I worked ordinarily after that.

              Then I stopped taking money to a byte. There was the drinking session of the byte at the end of July. I was invited. First, I declined. However, I decided to go after all. I don’t have money, so I went home to take money. The drinking session was very fun. There were many people who met for the first time, but I was able to get along with their. Then, the talk that money was stolen. There was a person stolen it other than me. Because I thought that it was a chance, I talked my story. Everybody was surprised. I was stolen most. Although the person who stole had already resigned from a byte, I could receive the apology later and had money paid. I was glad for money to have returned.
              Now, I bring my wallet to a pizza shop now. I still think that it was good to go for a drinking session on that day. The money would not return if I did not go there. When a drinking session is held, I go. That’s why I do not know what happens. A good thing may happen that it is good for me.

          My older sister is irritable. She is angry in a small thing. Also, she is selfish. She is 3 years old older than me. She lets me do housework though she is older.

I enjoy looking at her hair. Also, she likes manga. She reads manga for boys, but she hates manga for girls. She lends me comics sometimes. Each comic that she lends is interesting.
 She is right-handed, but I think that she has a stronger right-brain. I think that she likes art and photo. Also she do not like speak in public. She does not like remember people’s face and name. As a result I think that she has a stronger right-brain.

Self-Esteem in young Adults

For young adults, how you feel about yourself (self-esteem) is very important. Self-esteem is influenced by the external world (which includes grades, friends, and relationships with family members and friends). People with good self-esteem have a realistic view of what they can do. They tend to be more tolerant of others. They are self-confident, feel good about themselves, and can be assertive. They are less likely to feel depressed.

Many factors can promote (increase) or diminish (decrease) one’s self-esteem. Having good relationships, doing well in school, and feeling proud about your abilities can increase self-esteem.

But, our self-esteem can be harmed in many ways. People with low self-esteem often doubt themselves, worry about what others think, and may struggle to accept themselves. Some people live in challenging situations, facing racism, sexual harassment, child abuse, male chauvinism, and religious intolerance, all of which can damage self-esteem.

This is about self-esteem. This is lacking young people. Self-esteem is very important for future.

Herbivorous Males

Humans are naturally an omnivorous species. Unlike cows, which eat only plants, or lions which eat only meat, we are like the crow or bear which eat both. Thus, it is striking that a new species has recently arisen in Japan, the herbivorous male who eats only plants. Of course, this term is used only in the metaphorical sense. These young male still eat meat, but their behavior is more like a herbivore than a carnivore.

It’s the beginning of about Herbivorous Males from ‘Good-bye, Galapagos.’

Having convinced Bieber's mother, Braun arranged for Bieber to meet with Usher in Atlanta, Georgia. Bieber was signed to RBMG, and then to an Island Records recording contract offered by record executive, L.A. Reid. He is a world-famous singer.

Tonight,

We are young

So let’s set the world on fire

We can burn brighter than the sun

Now you’ve been talking in your sleep

oh, oh

Things you never say to me,

oh, oh

Tell me that you’ve had enough

Of our love, our love

Just give me a reason

Just a little bit’s enough

Just a second

we’re not broken just bent

And we can learn to love again

BR-2 15 Stories of gnomes&goblins

“I was going to Goblin Hill for a party. Would you like to come?”

The story of one episode is about bad personalities Norm. He said to farmer give him half of the harvest is to visit. He can not to obtain a sufficiently crop eventually.

Two episodes the story of goblins. When a certain girl walked, she heard a low voice. The real nature was a fairy. She was caught in the spider web. When a girl helps her, and she took her to the Goblin party to thank. She had a great time there. This book was very interesting. It is possible to learn about them.

BR-2 10 Snow white and the seven dwarfs

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of us all?

This story was slightly different from what I had imagined. I do not know only of Disney movie Snow White, and I performed vague recollection of contents. So I was shocked to read this book. There are two parts which I was surprised at. The first is the opening section. ‘As she watched the feathery snowflakes fall, her needle slipped. Three drops of ruby-red blood fell onto the snow. The Queen sighed, “I wish I had a child,” she said, “with skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood and hair as black as ebony wood.” While Queen drips blood in snow, a wish is called it. I was surprised that there are cruel scenes even though fairy tale for children.

The second part is the middle part. It is a scene to come over to so that a stepmother will kill Snow White. ‘She looped the belt around Snow White’s waist and pulled in tight… tighter and tighter… The woman kept pulling until Snow White collapsed.’ A stepmother strangles a princess to death with a belt. Besides, she tightens her waist. I thought of her coming to kill a princess only once. However, she came three times. This book was a shock a lot for me.

This story begins when Snow White father remarried. She asked to magic mirror, "The most beautiful in the world who?" The mirror replied, “You are.” She was satisfied with the answer, but the years have passed mirrors answer changed. Snow White escapes the castle will likely to be killed by the hunter. Dwarfs will appear in this story as there is also the title. She fled to Dwarfs the house. Dwarfs are very cute. They moderate a some cruel scene. I think that this book is worth reading once.

BR-2 9 Jack and the beanstalk

He looked closer and saw a massive plant, reaching up to the sky.

Jack and the Beanstalk is a British fairy tale. This story is a very famous story that has been film adaptation. Jack and his mom are living poor with cow. However, because there is nothing to eat, he will go to sell cow. They encounter the old man on the way to market. The old man said I want to replace it with magic beans, so he was replaced the cattle and five dried beans. Mother is angry at Jack who took a bean home with not money and throws it away in the garden. So far is the cornerstone of this story.

When he wakes up the next day tree of beans had grown to the sky. He climbed it and enters the castle giant live. He discovers the chicken which was the belonging of his father there. That is hen lays golden eggs. His father was killed in the giant. He brought back the hen on the ground. And I was able to live wealthy thanks to the golden eggs.

This story still continues, he goes to the giants of the house again. I did not know the details of this story. So I knew that father of Jack was killed by a giant and was surprised. And I did not know that the treasure of the giant was the belonging of father either. The contents of this book are short so very recommended for people who want to again read back.

My favorite director

My favorite director is Hayao Miyazaki. Perhaps most of the Japanese people know of him. He is very great and famous person. He is animator and film director. He has made a lot of work in the Studio Ghibli. I like "Princess Mononoke" is the best in his work. He did as a director, "The Castle of Cagliostro, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Laputa: Castle in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Porco Rosso, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, on top of the cliff of Ponyo, The Wind Rises. " I respect him very much. There is not the person who is good at a painting as him. The picture of the animated cartoon captures human movement well, too. His anime person move naturally. It is very difficult to move an animated cartoon, but he easily accomplishes it. He has already retired. I wanted worked more to him.

BR-2 8 Robinson Crusoe

He wasn’t completely alone after all.

I read this book for the first time. I knew the name, but I don’t want to read this book. I think that it seemed not fascinating selfishly. I found out that the book which is being read is very interesting.

The contents on this book are a document of a person adrift of Robinson Crusoe. A person of he who has gone out to travel drifts in an uninhabited island. He’s surviving at its location. I thought that was a perfect fiction. But, there is a model who existed in “the world history”, and, that a novel was written from this model. It’s amazing.

This book seems to have a continuation. But it wouldn’t be possible to read by a book of this publishing company. It’s because this book is for children. If you’d like to read a continuation, you should look for other book. I think that you want to read continue when this book read. I want to read.

BR-2 7 the nutcracker

She looked around and saw she was under the Christmas tree… and it seemed to be growing.

“Nutcrackers” are the ballet music Pyotr llich Chaikovskii wrote and a ballet work with that. This content of the story are writing this book. This story is easy to read. Clara got a Christmas present from her godfather. She can’t wait for Christmas; she goes to Christmas tree in order to open. The inside of the present were a nutcracker. It’ll be midnight at that time. A strange thing begins to happen after that.

I knew story of a nutcracker for the first time. It was very interesting. I thought that I should have known earlier. It’s so good story. I thought that I’d like to watch these ballet and movie. It was written with “A nutcracker is a wooden or metal tool for cracking nutshells. When this story was written nuts were a special Christmas treat. Some nutcrackers were even shaped like dolls.” in the beginning.

BR-2 6 King Arthur

“Whoever pulls this sword from the stone is the true-born King of England.”

The book is writing about a legend of King Arthur. I know name of King Arthur, but I don’t know about a legend. This content is that a king of England is found newly. There was Uther king in the England. He had a son, but someone take him and leave so as not to be involved a quarrel. Someone is Marlin, a wise old wizard. After that, the child named Arthur and was brought up as a son of knights Sir Ector. Several years later, the stone in which a sword sticks was found at England. It was written that the person who could pulls sword could be a true king. So a lot of people gathered, but no one could achieve it. However, Arthur pulls sword easily. So Ector told him about the truth. He was King’s son. At last, he becomes a king of England.

The book of the King Arthur is difficult, but this book is easy to read. The grammar is easy and the used word is also easy. This book is still to be continued. The one I introduced is the first part. The continuation is very fascinating, so I want you to read.

MR 6 Men in Black

I love this movie. I have watched this movie many times. There is two other movies in this series. They also very interesting. Men in Black is a really great movie, it's original and it's funny. I had a great time, it's just a simple movie that I recommend. This movie has action, science fiction and comedy and great cast. Cast is Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith who are famous actors. I like them. They are great actors to represent the world. Tommy Lee Jones is known from No Country for Old Men, The Fugitive. Will Smith is known from Ali, The Pursuit of Happyness, I, Robot, Independence Day and some other movies.

Will Smith is James Darrell Edwards III, an NYPD police officer. He worked as police officer of New York, and he comes across an alien. Tommy Lee Jones is Agent K, works for the Men in Black. Agent K invites him to join the Men in Black. He will pass only one person who takes the test. He decided to become a fellow, so his credit card credit information and driver's license information such as social security number was deleted. They going to resolve the incident to become a partner.

This movie is an action movie but it is also a comedy. But serious scene is the main. Anyone will have fun to watch this movie. The tempo is good so you are able to see to feel free. This is the work you will enjoy getting out and futuristic cityscape and high-performance car. And they come out with a lot of kinds of alien. It's something to enjoy from children to adults, but the scene to kill aliens is a little harsh, so maybe a few people don’t like this movie. I can’t recommend for people who don’t like insect because the movie has cockroaches. But it is very good movie, except for that part.

January 3

Day I met in elementary school friends in eight years. A time capsule was opened on this day. It had been buried in the soil. There was a mark at the place in which a time capsule is buried, but was missing. So until strike it is, it was serious. It has been stored in a paper bag and plastic bag and container. But the contents had been eroded in rainwater. Paper was not able to read the characters have melted all. I had put MD and mike of plastic toy and testimonial. MD and toy was able to find safely.
After the gathering, we go to dinner. we went to "Odori-zushi." I tried to go at the other shop the beginning, but that was fully booked there. Sushi was good. After dinner, i went to my friend house with others. I ate snacks and drunk. We did a lot of good old story. I think that it was really good to meet everyone in this day.

I went to the year's first visit to the shrine at the end of work on the day. There were very much people. When a date changed, it was the first time to go there, so i was surprised at a lot of people. Many person lined up to make a wish. I could make a wish too. Lot was moderate fortune.

December 26

I stayed in friend's house at night on the 25th. I was sleeping until the afternoon on the day. I went to a downtown to have lunch. after it. After lunch, I bought a cake and liquor. We held the second time of Christmas party. I was very happy because I ate those by a Kotatsu. I love it. But there is no one that in my house. A kotatsu makes the person lazy.

MR 5 Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet is a very famous work. There wouldn't be a person who doesn't know this work. Original of this work is Shakespeare's plays. Shakespeare is one of the most prolific and talented playwrights in all history. His work has been translated into countless languages, has been endlessly analyzed and discussed. The directors meet the challenge of re-telling this classic story of star-crossed lovers into a modern rendition. First of all, Romeo and Juliet has never been my favorite Shakespeare tragedy.

The film footage is very beautiful. It was to the extent it was fascinating, and I felt like seeing many times. The music is absolutely brilliant. The original language is used in this movie. Though the movie is very modern, that is old. I found that the work relating to the characters and the story as though it was written for our generation. Cast of this movie is also great. Leonardo DiCaprio plays the hero. I think that Leonardo DiCaprio in role Romeo was very good lover and he is the best guy for this role. He is very cool. He is cool even now you can see him very young fresh in this movie. This is a movie to watch if you like him.

The story is about true love, life and and about relatives between parents and children, man and woman. The film is about bloody war between two famous families in Verona. The original is the conflict of the two families, but has been made into a dispute between the Mafia in this movie. Other than that, it is faithful to the original. Montague's son Romeo thinking of woman named Rosaline. Meanwhile, Romeo is invited to friend Mercutio who heard that there is a party at the Capulets who are hostile to the Montagues, to get into the party in fancy dress. Here, he love at first sight Juliet. Feelings communicate, but they're being involved in a quarrel of both families after that. I want to enjoy the last. In the end I think that Romeo & Juliette is very good film and I recommend to see this film.

MR 3 Rockey

I watched a movie called Rocky for the first time. I think that this movie is good. I was able to easily impressed, but I do not like this movie so much. It is because I don’t like seeing a sports movie and especially the combative sport is disagreeable. This is the story about boxing. A man called Rocky Balboa who is a third-rate boxer is a hero. The main point is that he is going to greatly chang his life story.

Words that remain most to mind is this. “Ah come on, Adrian, it's true. I was nobody. But that don't matter either, you know? 'Cause I was thinkin', it really don't matter if I lose this fight. It really don't matter if this guy opens my head, either. 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood.”

This are the words when he made the resolution before the game. The first was that he was a man that does not do things seriously even though he has talent. That's when by chance he decided to participate in the world championship. Pauli and Mickey offer to help, but he refuses. It would be selfish to misunderstand that people had been gathered to money. But he begins to practice towards the match after he really noticed that they have him thinking of himself. He was changed by his beloved Adrian.

This movie has a famous theme song. I think the music is something most of the people have heard. If this is heard, I will be very excited and will have the feeling of of doing my best. Please see this movie and listen to this theme tune.

My favorite painter

I like the painter named Raphael Santi. Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino known as Raphael, was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance. His work is admired for its clarity of form, ease of composition, and visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur. Together with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, he forms the traditional trinity of great masters of that period. I like "madonna della seggiola" is the best of his work. I drew the works of art of the time at the time of the junior high school students. It was very difficult. Also I like "Die Schule von Athen." This work is the cover of ethics of Book. Besides that there are many famous works.

MR 4 school of rock

I like this movie. I rarely watch a comedy movie. So I'm glad there is a chance to watch a movie of these genres. It has the word rock in the subject. At the beginning of the movie is where the hero is playing. Although Dewey is a rock band member of a band that does not sell, one day he was fired because of his selfishness. He goes home and his roommate yelled at him to pay the rent because his roommate's girlfriend says so. At that time, a telephone call came to Ned for substitute teacher. Dewey answered the phone and he pretended to be Ned because he needed rent money.

He is responsible for elementary school classes. This is a comedy movie so he does not have to teach seriously. He gives students the time to play. But one day he can see that there is music talent in the students, so his thinking changed. He then decided to compete in the band competition by using the children.


 This content is a story that does not happen in reality.This story is impossible because we cannot believe he is pretending to be a teacher. Definitely a person who does this is very sharp and will be a real success or he would have made a goof somewhere otherwise. This is why I think Jack Black is perfect for the character of Dewey.

 I think this movie can be enjoyed  by children to adults. Children think that it is a fun movie. I think adults can also enjoy from a different point of view. . Many people will think and feel nostalgic about songs, band names and clothes. I did not feel nostalgic because it is not from my generation. I think that parents and children can  watch together and say their impressions to each other.
